Here are some oddities that I have noticed:
* Sometimes I have to spin my **** to get the volume to change.
* Sometimes when I turn it up only a couple clicks, the volume goes down instead.
* Sometimes when I turn it down only a couple clicks, the volume goes up instead.

I'm on my third Monsoon headunit now (for other reasons) and all of them exhibited the same issues.

I noticed mine doing it last night, but right before it went down it was really distorted. Maybe it's some sort of safety feature?

Mine does the things that VIP1 mentioned too, though... eh, I'll be ripping the monsoon out next time I get a chance to work on the car anyway
